“Enough dehumanising violence was done to second world war victims during their own time; we have no right to add to that violence by further reducing them to nameless images in our current advertising and social media campaigns. Their bodies and lives are not our public property.”

I’ve already received nasty emails about this article. While I respect the fact that people will disagree with my position on this, if you’re planning on emailing me, please note that: a) I will not respond to abusive emails, they will be immediately deleted; and b) don’t expect me to change my mind. I’ve formed this opinion based on knowledge, personal experience and the experience of others. I’m not looking to be convinced otherwise.

But let me reiterate what this article and post are about: remembering the victims.
